The course

Why you need it

The RT practical exam is much harder than it used to be, and this course is how our students pass the new format.

As well as the Communications theory exam, every pilot has to pass a radio telephony practical exam with an RT examiner. It takes real preparation: we all pick up bad habits from instructors and other pilots along the way.

You'll need to know RT procedures inside out, understand the processes behind them, and be in good practice with your phraseology. We teach all of that, and why the little rules and nuances exist: understand why you say something a certain way, and you'll remember how to say it.

RT examiners and students alike tell us how well it prepares pilots for this exam, and with the course behind you, you'll be ready for the official exam with your RT examiner.

Who it's for

Student pilots preparing for the RT practical exam. You'll have finished the navigation part of your flight training (ready for, or past, your qualifying cross-country) and have a good working knowledge of RT procedures.

How it works

From booking to your exam

Once a session is booked, missing it without notice means a “no show” fee, as our Terms & Conditions explain.
